Definition:
A thermoplastic resin used as a fiber reinforcement made by polymerizing propylene. Its density (approximately 0.90) is among the lowest of all plastics. Polypropylenes can be modified to gain improved properties by compounding with fillers, e.g. glass fibers, by blending with synthetic elastomers, and by copolymerizing with small amounts of other monomers. Glass reinforced polypropylene can be processed by injection molding, continuous lamination and rotational molding. Also known as POLYPROPENE.
